About this episode

Senator Elizabeth Warren faces renewed scrutiny after a 1986 Texas Bar application surfaced showing she self-identified as American Indian despite lacking tribal citizenship. This revelation coincides with a total leadership collapse in Virginia, where Governor Ralph Northam, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, and Attorney General Mark Herring all face simultaneous scandals involving blackface admissions and sexual assault allegations. The political fallout suggests a potential shift in power to Republican Speaker Kirk Cox if the line of succession is fully triggered.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald defended Representative Tulsi Gabbard against claims from NBC News and the firm New Knowledge that she is a Russian asset, arguing that neoconservative interests have migrated to the Democratic Party to marginalize anti-war candidates. Meanwhile, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to explain that the platform moderates based on user conduct rather than content, utilizing machine learning models for automated down-ranking. In the media sector, Spotify acquired Gimlet Media and Anchor to pivot toward a centralized ad-supported model, while digital media fraud allegations suggest companies like Viacom and Comedy Central have been purchasing fake video views to deceive advertisers.

Senator Mazie Hirono provided a moment of congressional absurdity by questioning a judicial nominee about the legal ethics of dwarf tossing in France. On the cultural front, the New England Patriots secured a low-scoring Super Bowl LIII victory over the Los Angeles Rams amidst a wave of commercials featuring dystopian robots and talking tubes. The episode also honors new knights Sir Stefan of Swabia and Sir Zombie Slave for their significant contributions to the value-for-value model.

Elizabeth Warren, Native American Heritage Controversy

Senator Elizabeth Warren faces renewed scrutiny after a 1986 Texas Bar application surfaced showing she self-identified as American Indian. Despite a previous DNA test showing minimal Native American markers, Warren apologized for the distinction between family stories and tribal citizenship. Critics and tribal leaders continue to challenge her past claims of heritage used during her time at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania.

elizabeth warren· cherokee· dna test· texas bar· pocahontas

00:00 She's alive! Fire alarms and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone star state here in downtown Austin, Tejas. In the Cluedio! In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where i am now self-identifying as an American Indian I'm John C. DeVorek It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Mornin' You know you see the point is your supposed to do that on your entrance to things not when your exiting everything There's no benefit We got a memo on that

00:42 That is truly one of the most beautiful stories of the week, Elizabeth Warren. Somebody digging up an old form that had her put down American Indian as race What a hit job! It was yeah I'm thinking Roger Stone No it's no Stones out of commission there's people who have learned from him though Yeah must be If you don't know we're talking about Elizabeth Warren who uh... We actually called Pocahontas years before Donald Trump so we had to stop doing it It's kind of sad. Yeah, and we... So on top of the DNA test on top of everything I actually have a I have her apology Do you have anything you want to play from? I have a couple of clips but it but you know one of the things I was thinking about before I play these clips is that she was born and raised in Oklahoma

01:39 Where there's a lot of people believe that they're Cherokee or some other, you know Oklahoman tribe is their ancestry sure So I decided to look her up Look up look her up for hurt because this is possible that somebody told her this and Because she Indian look This is exactly what's in my clip so I'll play this as a You can hear her apology which is exactly this before you do. Let me just continue Okay So I went and looked up all the old high school pictures to see what she looked like in high school, to see if she looked anything like an American Indian. Maybe just a little bit of somewhat... Yeah the cheekbones? Anything! No not even close She's actually gorgeous as a high school girl Very attractive And then she started taking very slowly evolved into that certain kind of look that liberal women somehow get

02:35 Kind of a weird smile. Did she always have the short hair? No, no she had a variety of hairstyles I think that's what it is It's the really...it's the short hair The bob That's kind of the trademark Well, all you mean when she turned liberal. Well the problem is that the most liberal looking picture of her is uh... It's not just liberal John! No I'm talking about a wedding photo which is the one where she looks like the snotty liberal that you run into these girls or know-it-alls and yeah she got all of a sudden has developed kind of a... The only way to people out there have maybe more

03:17 sports or inclined, she has that John Elway smile which is like this forced kind of oval smile which is very classic and he came from Stanford. Yeah she's got a kind of bob and her hair was long earlier and then she got this look about her but none if it looks Indian But what you just said gives me an out for her She can be on the Wheaties box She looks like a sport star Are you looking at her pictures? No, I'm not. She's got the smile of a guy who is... but she doesn't look anything like a sports star. Not looking at her pictures. My clips probably include her because she-I do have the same, i think it's within these two clips that I have but play yours and we'll see where we go okay this is from Fox News where they broke away to get some specific questions about this latest

04:14 controversy where she hand wrote her race as American Indian on her Texas bar exam application. By the way, this is I think it's Shep Smith and this was Steck who sent me this clip you can hear at the beginning this is something you don't hear often but this is very typical of television where they're coming out of the break and the teleprompter has not yet put up the text. And so I think this is Shep Smith, and he's going, Prompter! Prompter! Prompter! Elizabeth Warren... You hear that? Yeah. I love those moments. Ahhhh! Freaking out! I say prompter! Prompter! Elizabeth Warren is speaking about her history of claiming Cherokee Indian heritage on applications and otherwise The most recent instance in the news was her application for Texas Bar wherein she herself wrote exactly that as witnessed here

05:10 Warren started speaking during the commercial break, so we DVR'd it for you and will play it from where we began recording. Listen. So Senator why did you list yourself as an American Indian on this Texas bar application? The President hasn't made the case that you've used this part of your background to get ahead are you saying that this is something you fundamentally believed about yourself or how do you respond to that criticism but this was a knowing attempt to get ahead by using that claim of ancestry So that is a claim that has been fully investigated and it has now been shown completely, that nothing about my background ever had anything to do with any job I got in any place. It's been fully documented and there is no evidence.

05:57 of any kind other than it had nothing to do. Are there any more documents or any more forms like this out there that you have listed yourself as? This is who I grew up with, and believing with my brothers this is our family story yes it's the story but I think she's lying when she says that it's been documented and investigated that she never had any benefit nobody cares nobody's documented investigating anything they're just using it to write her you're right what am I even thinking But let's listen to the big boys talk about this and I have the two CBS in this case The there goes his effort by the way CBS version, and it's about how she's actually rewritten

06:48 This is very worth, very much worth whatever I don't know what kind of phrase i'm trying to come up with there. Wasting our time on? Using valuable airtime it's worth it! Nah, I take your word for it The senator from Massachusetts apologized today after a decades-old document surfaced that shows Warren declared herself to be an American Indian Nancy Cordes has more on this I'm not a tribal citizen and i should have been more mindful of the distinction. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren apologized today for listing American Indian as her race after being accepted to the Texas Bar Association in 1986 This is who I grew up

07:38 believing with my brothers. This is our family story, but family stories are not the same as tribal citizenship and this is why I have apologized." Warren launched a presidential exploratory committee in December. But she's been dogged by her decision decades ago to list herself as Native American at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University And drew fire from Cherokee tribal leaders last year when she tried to put the issue behind her with a highly publicized DNA test. What do the facts say? The facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree. Hold on a second! We followed this very closely This is, this is a rewrite She's rewriting history

08:30 The fact was when she had her DNA test, it turned out that there were no real Native American genomes. Anything that they can compare her to and they had to use South American... markers. And so she, the best she could do is have a couple of ticks off the box from some South American tribe or the Incas or who knows what they were talking about? Or I don't know but now she's making it sound as though oh wait a minute yeah you have some you get you definitely And where'd this recording come from? We never heard this before. Some bogus recording of a guy telling her... Yeah, we did! No no no yes we most definitely did This was like it was either her husband's brother It was some family relation and he worked at the DNA company I don't think he is even qualified to analyze it He's the one that got on the phone in that hokey video they did Hold on here's that bit again

09:32 and drew fire from Cherokee tribal leaders last year when she tried to put the issue behind her with a highly publicized DNA test. What are the facts say? I love the facts suggest that's the best part How does definitely and suggest work together fact-check falsehood Well anyway, so she got herself in a heap of trouble here and then now she's rewriting it to make it sound as if- If it wasn't for those damn Cherokee tribal leaders... Yes! Who don't recognize her. Who don't recognize her? She'd be good to go! When is bullcrap?!

10:21 But anyway, so she's in a... This is a problem for her. She might be able to blow over and she can still maybe take a shot at things but I don't think so but let's play part two where they kind of just put some icing on this cake. The facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree The chair of the Republican National Committee filed a grievance with the Texas Bar today, saying Attorney Warren should be disciplined for lying. She has no Indian blood! But many Democrats argue the real controversy is the president's ongoing racial insensitivity when talking about Warren. Pocahontas I apologize to you. To you I apologize. To the fake Pocahontas I won't apologize

11:10 Warren insisted today that she wasn't seeking special treatment when she listed herself as Native American and that she was never hired because of it. But, it could complicate her next job application because Jeff, she is set to formally launch her bid for the presidency in just four days." And she's really going through with the announcement It really seems like she's gonna try just ignore this Well, she made a huge mistake when she didn't run against Hillary or take the I mean she would have won. I mean everybody you should talk when that during that era pay careful attention to people like Mimi a lifelong Republican who's which she was all in devote for Elizabeth what does Mimi think of Liz now? She thinks is a big phony. Okay. Dodge the bullet

CHAPTER 02 / 39 Discussion

Virginia Political Crisis, Blackface and Sexual Assault Allegations

Virginia's top three Democratic officials face simultaneous scandals involving racial insensitivity and sexual assault. Governor Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring both admitted to wearing blackface in the 1980s, while Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax faces a sexual assault allegation from 2004. The line of succession could potentially lead to Republican Speaker Kirk Cox becoming governor due to a previous tied election decided by drawing a name from a bowl.

ralph northam· mark herring· justin fairfax· blackface· virginia

12:01 Excellent. Maybe, yeah She wouldn't have gotten anything done because she's a big talker and no big talk no action woman Well but we're in this situation now by the way I want to mention that CBS managed it turn it on Trump somehow of course What else is new? But we're in this interesting situation and I'm referring specifically to Virginia where you know We um... It's got has become so easy to discredit almost anybody based upon what they've done in the past. And, you know thanks internet! Thanks storage!

12:38 You know, thanks to scanners. Yeah! Thanks to technology. Thanks to technology really. The only person you can elect for an elective office has gotta be the biggest dud ever. Well what's...you take a look so we have this governor who appeared in blackface but then he said no that wasn't me I did do black face once and Michael Jackson at dance contest which i have to say coming from the Netherlands I remember In the late 70s, early 80's when Michael Jackson just-just when he still had the afro. There were tons of dance competitions at schools and there was always some kid who would be in blackface with the big fro wig and would dance their ass off! And we'd be like oh my god it's just like Michael Jackson

13:25 Now, of course I have all kinds of privilege but at the time it didn't seem like anyone...it just seemed like there was less inflammatory. And we had black kids in school! It was the Netherlands you know? We had black kids and still have the Black Pete's You know, there's some you got to put some context into it blackface the Al Jolson Blackface minstrel show is very different than emulating Michael Jackson or any black person for that reason which is why Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon are very quiet right now

14:01 You haven't heard the maid a lot of jokes about Ralph Northam in Virginia because there's tons of video of them doing skits in blackface. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised why do have the run down on this situation? The latest which included the third guy It just it doesn't now are these hit jobs too, or is this just I mean where's this coming from? I don't know but the punchline. This has got a punch line to its a little longer for a clip But it's that I believe it's from CBS and it has all the up-to-date information I had every time I was clipping this all during the week. It's like it's every old guy They got a new guy Reclip

14:40 So let's do hilarious Virginia mess. First it was the governor, then the lieutenant governor now the state attorney general The top three leaders in the state all Democrats all facing deep controversy The latest is Attorney General Mark Herring who admitted today that he once wore blackface at a college party Ed O'Keefe has more on the chaos in the Commonwealth Virginia Democratic lawmakers were in no mood to discuss the latest scandal to rock Richmond. Attorney General Mark Herring admitting that he also once dressed in blackface. As an undergraduate, in 1980, he said in a statement he and friends went to a party as rappers we dressed up and put on wigs and brown makeup He added I have a glaring example from my past that I have thought about with deep regret in the many years since

15:30 When word reached the statehouse, there were audible gasps and expletives from staffers. Some lawmakers hung their heads in disbelief... And this from the head of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus Lamont Bagby. Like I said we're not praying enough The scandal rocketed all the way up to Washington. I'm shocked and incredibly disappointed awful week for Virginia. Today's bombshell comes just days after Haring called for Governor Ralph Northam to resign over a racist photo, including a man in blackface that was discovered on his medical school yearbook page I am not either of the people in that photo After that news conference Haring had said it is no longer possible for the governor to lead Virginia Northam remains out of sight as he contemplates his political future

16:18 He's meeting with black leaders and may hire a private investigator to prove it's not him in the photo. Then there is Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax. Hold on, where is Al Sharpton? Where is Reverend Al? He'll be around. All this guy has to do is pay off Rev Al and then Reverend Al will bless him, hug and it'll be a big press conference and he'll be good to go but I don't think... Reverend Al's not here suddenly or maybe he is? Nobody knows maybe these guys don't know how the game works. ...may hire a private investigator to prove it's not him in the photo Then there's Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax who's facing an allegation of sexual assault during the Democratic National Convention in 2004

17:00 Today his accuser, Vanessa Tyson put out a lengthy statement saying she's a Democrat and is sharing her story with tremendous anguish. She says she had gone to Fairfax's hotel room to retrieve documents and that after consensual kissing Mr. Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him Fairfax has repeatedly denied the allegation and responded today, saying reading Dr. Tyson's account is painful I have never done anything like what she suggests as all three men consider their next steps Virginia's line of succession states that if Northam steps down Fairfax would take over then Herring

17:37 And next in line, Republican Kirk Cox. Speaker of the House where the GOP has a one seat majority In a twist worthy of the movies The race for that one seat ended in a tie and was decided when the name of the Republican winner was pulled out of a ceramic bowl What does ceramic bowl have to do with it? Was is white bowl It was a bowl They ended up with a tie at the end of the legislative session for who's gonna, a Democrat or Republican whoever wins and it was a tie. A perfect tie they would pick the name out of a bowl and it was The Republican so The Republicans is a guy by one vote who gets to be the next governor if all these guys fall apart which is possible. But this was a porcelain bowl?

18:30 ceramic oh I thought toilet ceramic bowl ceramic what are the reasons because that dead that has the implications of a toilet yeah this one say well done good reporting yes so this okay so now this does ceramic Bowl system this does give a different slant if we now add After these three guys are annihilated now a Republican who could wind up governor. This is a move It's fantastic great move oh, man Yeah this you know this morning some someone on Twitter Which is I think something a phrase? They use a lot someone on Twitter it would just forgotten tweeted out a clip of the view from 2016

CHAPTER 03 / 39 Discussion

Joy Behar, 2016 Blackface Costume Defense

A 2016 clip from The View resurfaced showing host Joy Behar defending a past Halloween costume where she dressed as a "beautiful African woman." Behar claimed she used makeup slightly darker than her skin and emphasized that her hair was naturally curly. The incident is compared to other celebrities who faced backlash for similar racial impersonations.

19:17 Joy Behar defending, this is 2016 now. Defending her costume where she dressed up as an African American. In the New York Times they had an op-ed piece in praise of naturally curly hair! They say that it's making a comeback! When did you leave? I've always had curly hair y'all late! That is a feminist statement! Huh? What do you mean? Is that you Joy?! Oh, you know this picture?

A little, I had makeup that was a little bit darker than my skin Uh huh uh huh He's gonna fix it But I ha- That's my actual hair though I love it though Do you hear the obsession with well it was just make up a little darker wasn't really blackface My hairs really curly I didn't do anything WRONG Wow, that's a great clip.

I forgot about that! So Whoopie would've gone off on her

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Mary Poppins Racism Claims, Black Pete Tradition

A New York Times op-ed claims the original Mary Poppins film contains racist elements, specifically citing a scene where the character powders her face with soot. The discussion transitions into the Dutch tradition of Black Pete, with predictions that the character will eventually be phased out due to increasing international pressure and claims of racial insensitivity.

mary poppins· blackface· black pete· netherlands· political correctness

20:57 But you know, the end is not near because now The New York Times even wrote a recent op-ed but an article how Mary Poppins is racist. What? Yes! Mary Poppins is racist because Nanny McPhee... I don't know the story Oh it's beautiful story and its coming back Yeah I know that When they go down the chimney, her face gets covered in soot but instead of wiping it off she gamely... I'm reading from the article. She gamely powders her nose and cheeks even blacker! Then she leads the children on a dancing exploration of London rooftops with Dick Van Dyke's sooty chimney sweep Bert." So that's quite- That's the old show they're talking about? Yeah well yes. Is there new one? Does he come down in blackface in the new movie?

21:56 I don't know. I haven't seen it, is it even out? I don't know! I haven't seen the new movie. I'll bet she doesn't But come on! Forget if its a... Well im just going to take this side that if you're gonna call everybody out for doing this Oh of course Whether its new now or 50 years ago 100 years ago whenever Including blacks who did it Most of the minstrel shows, the blacks had to put on blackface just because it'd be darker. Which really revealed in a recent Broadway play which documented all this era... It's like you got either all in or you're all out! That's why I think that Black Pete thing is going to be done for. Let me see, I'm looking at this article The Black Pete thing is never gonna be done for. The Dutch won't allow it. Yeah they've put up with a lot

22:55 It's gonna turn out that Black Pete is contributing to global warming. He's out! Well, there's that for sure Global warming yeah sad well at this point in history we've come to this... Well it's sad but it's quite funny Oh for our show its dynamite Yes humorous of course I mean For our show it's great You gotta be laughing yes exactly I would like to stay with the candidates for 2020 for a moment, and i'll start that with a jingle. That's Dom Sweeney

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

Tulsi Gabbard, Russian Bot Allegations and Neoconservative Migration

Journalist Glenn Greenwald defends Representative Tulsi Gabbard against claims by NBC News and the firm New Knowledge that she is a favorite of the Kremlin. Greenwald argues that neoconservatives have migrated to the Democratic Party, leading to the branding of anti-war candidates as Russian assets. The firm New Knowledge is criticized for previously using "Russian tactics" in the Alabama special election.

tulsi gabbard· glenn greenwald· new knowledge· russia· neoconservatives

23:57 right here in Austin. and had a report from New Knowledge, the Austin-based company that wrote the bullcrap report for the Intelligence Committee. No one references that anymore! By the way these A-holes who then subsequently got deplatformed from Facebook because they were using the same Russian tactics they reported on to the Congressional Senate committee They used the same tactics in this special election in Alabama? They got deplatformed for it?!

24:45 But yet these guys somehow are now credible to say, we see websites and bots tweeting about Tulsi Gabbard. Looks like the Russians are on her side because she's got to be – she can't take it seriously. She's Putin's puppet. Poor, poor Tulsa. Putin's puppet. And then if the hit job couldn't get any better David Duke just endorsed her I mean come on oh yeah this is fantastic! He has got to be working for the other side of course he is can you imagine okay here's who we want you to endorse just a kiss-off death endorsement company

25:25 Yeah, that's... Ooh! Kiss of Death Endorsement Company. Is that an acronym we can use? Kodek! I like it. Kodek. The kiss-of-death endorsement company. Well luckily we have a Democrat liberal Glenn Greenwald to push back on this And here he is. He actually did something that I've never really heard him say or this actually, I don't think I've ever heard him make this kind of accusation when it comes to a political fracas. So they claimed in a screaming headline that predictably went viral that she was the Kremlin's favorite candidate one of their reporters

26:08 who wrote the story tweeted that they, the Kremlin has a crush on Tulsi Gabbard. Something that if it were about a Democratic favorite would even denounce not just as adolescent but also sexist? Yes And of course this is all part of the broader context where the Democratic Party has this maniacal obsession with Russia if you try and debate anything with them about The war in Syria or the ongoing viability of NATO or troops in Afghanistan? They just start babbling about the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin and accusing you being a Russian agent It's like some kind of like neural malfunction, or we're a mania at this point. And what's amazing is doing this to Tulsi Gabbard She was a Democratic star just four years ago when she was first elected MSNBC said

26:53 first Asian woman elected to the Senate, to the House in U.S. history—she's an Iraq War veteran on a fast track of fame—they made her vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and now suddenly they're smearing her as an asset of the Kremlin using extremely dubious journalistic tactics for which NBC has become notorious on behalf of both the CIA and the DNC? I've never heard Glenn Greenwald accused that and link it to the CIA. That's kind of a first for him, I like that! Yeah well he wrote a long article on this in The Intercept... And it went on and on and just condemned all this practice of trying to destroy Tulsi Gabbard But in the article he did not mention ... He doesn't have the background on new knowledge

27:45 That's the part that he is missing. He is missing these guys, these are the guys who wrote the report that was heralded by everybody. Well you did slam new knowledge in his article. Yeah okay well yes but I think...I thought it could have expanded a little more I have a second, he was on Tucker actually from his hideout in Brazil. I have this second clip about the neocons moving from the right to the left that's just worth taking along here In 2014 and you can go Google this there is an article in The New York Times, not bad by someone who has tracked

28:22 neocons for a long time, saying that it was clear that there was rising isolationism and anti-war sentiment in the Republican Party. And neocons were therefore migrating back to the Democrats, especially in excitement over the prospect that Hillary Clinton would be the nominee for president in 2016 and that she essentially has a neocon foreign policy—she supported the war in Iraq, she supported regime change in Libya. She was highly critical of Obama for not doing more in Libya, for not arming anti-Russian factions in Ukraine. They love Hillary Clinton and they were migrating back to the Democratic Party so Democrats have become reunited with neocons so anyone who deviates from the neocon agenda whether on the left or on the right instantly gets accused of being an asset or a stooge

29:09 of the Kremlin and that's what they did in NBC, in this case relied on a firm that just got caught six weeks ago fabricating Russia data. They got kicked off Facebook for doing it and that was NBCs leading quote expert for claiming that chatter shows that the Kremlin is now favoring Tulsi Gabbard. There you go. He still missed some important part yeah Anyway, he's kind of right. You know the funny thing is people don't realize that the neocons all these warmongers that took over the Bush administration Bill Kristol who else? Well, Bill Kristol the guy that wolf Wolferwitz was a guy who is in the World Bank It's a whole bunch of them and they're all identifiable John Bolton. How about that? John Bolton? Yeah, John. No one of them He does they're making some headway into the Trump administration now I don't know why Trump is yeah We do know because they're all involved and weird sex shit that they can't talk about Oh That could be whatever the case that day were originally liberal Democrats

30:07 from the 60s, the 60 style liberal Democrat which does involve often from that era the pre-AIDS era a lot of kinky sex. And so they evolved and some of the Democrat party didn't want these guys and so they all became Republicans! The party thing was non issue to them. They just wanted to cause havoc create war take over the world wrote papers about it. You can read about American New Century, I think is one of them. A project for a new American century? Yeah that which is the PNAC, which is the document that said we need a new Pearl Harbor maybe someone could fly an airplane into with the World Trade Tower. Well didn't say that specifically but that's what they were hinting at came pretty damn close so yeah that's good to get those guys out of the get him actually they should be out of they should have formed their own party

CHAPTER 06 / 39 Discussion

Pod Save America, Speechwriting Critiques

Former Obama speechwriters on the Pod Save America podcast criticize the writing style of Trump advisor Stephen Miller. The hosts argue that Miller's writing is objectively poor regardless of his political views, comparing it to bad motivational speaking. The discussion highlights the competitive and often dismissive nature of professional political speechwriters.

pod save america· stephen miller· obama· speechwriting· podcasting

31:04 Who knew it neocons? Neocon party sounds like a winner. I think, hey, you know, I betcha. I bet you someone could twist that and make people buy it. I think I think it's doable some bird little bit of Bernays sauce on there and you're good to go It just takes a lot of Bernays. Before we get to the State of the Union, which you do need to talk about I'd like to preface it with a couple of short clips from Pod Save The Privileged...I'm sorry, Pod Save America Which is- Oh yeah this is your new beat Yeah! Yeah! I've been listening some podcasts and getting some stuff So these are the uh...Pod Save America very very successful podcast although I think they're doing some weird stuff because

31:53 They don't have a show every day and they had a show the day before the State of the Union, didn't have one the day after. Didn't have one today. And they're doing these shows on the road and so they can't record you know that they can only record when their on stage. Too hard huh? But they're making a lot of money. I mean doing these theater shows, that's bank for them And you can hear they're kind of tired like okay we're gonna travel here travel there That's really their main income although Although i do have uh... We can decide if we want to play it but i do have one of the live reads but will start off This is pre-the state of the union from pod save the privilege is what i call them now and

32:38 You know, they're former speechwriters for Obama. Two of them and so they start talking about speechwriting And you know and I don't know anything about speechwriting. I know that Obama had some great jokes He could deliver Humpty Dumpty and it would sound great But these guys kind of take all the credit for that but they also like to slam Trump's writer in advance of anything and Here it is Stephen Miller's such a bad writer better. I defend you guys as former well I might have speech writers someone that can't even put together sentences writing these things I mean, it's hard to get past the racism with Steven Miller That sucks on a lot of that's up front so you don't usually get to the fact that

33:22 Even if he weren't so racist his writing would be really bad. So it's just a bad writer right like if there were if there were If this was a normal Republican president Stephen Miller would have applied to be speechwriter and His would not have made it out of the first pile because there would've been a pile of better speeches And then they would've been like like, oh who is that racist guy? Yeah. Well we didn't even get to that when we were declining his speeches. George Bush's policies horrendous horrendous policies Michael Gerson pretty good speechwriter yeah great speech writer choosing greatness is like a bad motivational speaker you might hear at halftime of a high school football game That is the theme

33:59 Now, I don't know much about writers but... Well, I don't know much about high school football games except that was in high school once and I don't remember any motivational speaker coming out and giving us a big pep talk. What school did these guys go to? I'm sure some privileged preppy school! I don't know, but if you're a writer is that how you talk about other writers? I guess you do. Yeah, I guess writers do. Not all writers do that it's really the sleazeballs who do that and there are a lot of them. Well they're on this show! They lord it over everybody they just condemn the other writers...they condemn the competition as what it amounts to and the fact that they air that in public because its usually always behind-the-scenes That's kind of weak

Stacey Abrams, State of the Union Response

Stacey Abrams delivered the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union address, drawing praise from liberal commentators for her focus on identity politics. Observers noted technical oddities in the broadcast, suggesting Abrams may have been filmed against a green screen with a superimposed background. The segment analyzes her standing as a rising star within the Democratic Party.

34:44 That's beyond weak that is very lame. Yeah, and it is extremely douchey these guys are douche bags Wait for it so now they're going to talk about the Democratic answer the counter state of the Union by Stacey Abrams That's who did it? Yeah, Stacey Abrams. The one who lost they bring her out that's the best they can do well listen to the hagiography they perform on her uh the democrats have chosen former Georgia House minority leader Stacey Abrams to deliver the response to Trump guys how tough is this job what do you think of the decision and uh what do you want to hear from Stacey Abrams

35:25 I think it's an inspired choice. Same She is one of the most exciting candidates who ran last cycle, unfortunately she did not win but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a bright future in the party Great choice and she's brilliant we love Stacey Abrams You know what i would say It is a very tough job to do this The speech that she gave on election night and then the follow-up speech she gave when she refused to concede, when she accepted the results but refused to concede were two of the best speeches I've heard from a Democratic politician in years. She is brilliant! She also just wrote this really fantastic piece in Foreign Policy magazine of all places? It's brilliant and I defy someone... You gotta be seen. ...I defy someone to find a politician who writes

36:07 in that kind of academic style so brilliantly in either party, yeah. In politics today? It actually you know what I appreciate about it is actually it reminds me also-it reminds me of you know, she's not writing it to make a case for herself as a candidate. She's saying here is what I believe, here is the kind of politics that I ascribe to that will guide me in the future and reminds also if so a lot of the early writing of Elizabeth Warren was not geared around helping her win but just sort of laying out an ideological case for a kind of economic politics and this was laying out an ideological case for a kind of identity politics that she just defended in a really thoughtful and smart way. Yeah, she's so inspiring! She's just the best writer ever You should read this piece if you haven't in Foreign Policy magazine It's about identity politics and how it's good and it brings us together. It's like whoa! Yeah foreign policy is the magazine you read If you want to see what the Council on Foreign Relations is up to what they're trying to push

37:05 Hmm. Well, maybe that's why she's there Maybe she it seems like she's being pushed because when I looked after the State of the Union and I saw yeah Of course After the after the Democratic response, you know, like oh, she's a rising star She's great. You know Chuck Schumer wants her to run for Senate It's like okay. That's fine. Well, I've seen her talk. I watched her I don't I don't know what the fuss is about No, I didn't read her material and I by the way which I wish I doubt she wrote by the way Tell me she wasn't on green screen. She was totally on green studies study it I didn't watch your live and I was watching a small on the computer Oh you've got to see it. It's window. It's so it's so pathetic they had They have I think what here's what happened they had her in a room

38:02 And it did have a, I don't think it was a green background. It was A background and that just felt really dead and so they said we got to put some people behind her and had this B-roll footage... ...and they keyed her on top of it because it wasn't green screen the key the outline of her hair or whatever she's wearing or jacket or sweater It was you could see it. I mean have been around television long enough This was breaking superimposed, and it's just like yeah apart for the course you phonies Couldn't even get a crowd in to have her do this Speech which is about her and her family And her dad and now I guess it was inspired and then by what? Yeah well inspired by looking into me or I'm as I'm inspirational and then I think we can play this

Spotify Podcast Acquisitions, Daily Source Code Revival

Spotify's acquisition of Gimlet Media and Anchor marks a shift toward a centralized, ad-supported podcasting model. The hosts express skepticism about moving to platforms that restrict content to specific apps and prevent ad-skipping. Plans are discussed for a potential revival of the Daily Source Code using a new monetization platform that includes music licensing.

41:43 And they now will be folded into the Spotify business. Mm-hmm, and I went back and reviewed we actually have two proposals that we received one from Spotify one from Pandora and I got to tell you this We can't do this We can never go to one of these outfits because when I read between the lines and this is more from my own Experience and public knowledge not necessarily something that they sent me you've been taken already is that it's going to be, these podcasts will no longer be playable anywhere but on Spotify. Spotify app which is not necessarily a bad thing but...

42:28 If you don't pay, you will be getting ads and there's sufficient suspicion that you'll be getting ads even if you are paying because they really have to recoup this investment. And yeah, you've got people on the service and using it but I think a lot of people will continue with the free which is what the bulk of their listeners are as free and that's based on advertising And you won't be able to skip past the ads, which is another thing that's going to be rather complicated. But just the fact that all of their deals surround some type of advertising makes our show impossible for that. This just can't happen. It wouldn't be a show

43:11 Why don't we put together something special for them? No, I'm not. That's not our show. We can still do our show and then we'll do the Spotify version of it. No! I can't bring myself to do that. Hey Adam, I had some oatmeal milk the other day and it was delicious! Oh tell me man wait is it that cool stuff from Sweden I keep hearing about?! Yeah it was really good As we say in Sweden... Nut Milk! Jelska dai Maybe we could do it. Actually, it wasn't that bad! I think we could So can we conclude this executive meeting? Yeah, thats a dud but there wasnt really much more It's a dud. Its not for us But however there is...I did find a service which ill be talking about somewhere down the road Finally did what I've been looking for

43:59 They have a blanket license for all music. Yeah, yes and you can but it's not about streaming because if I do like the daily source code if I brought that back which I would really like to I'm not so worried about couple hundred people listening while I do live on the stream but these guys have it so you can download it put it on your phone listen to it wherever you are No ads and of course Of course you have to pay for it, but the pricing I think is what's interesting with what they're doing. You have to pay a minimum of $299 a month to subscribe to a channel that has whatever music is in it no matter how many shows are in there and all the royalties for the artists are paid out of that and the rest goes as they call it creator

44:49 But here's the cool thing, you can put any amount you want and the creator himself can say here is the minimum amount. So it's kind of like a monetization platform all in one where you could actually play music which is the only thing I've been wanting to do for 10 years longer than that 15 years So for daily source code there's some opportunities, also not including advertising. I just can't do it! I listen to these pod save the privilege guys...I can't do it! I can't do it seriously anymore. I used to. Well you're condemning them because they can't do it? I'm condemning them because they're not taking it seriously, and they're just yeah. They're so embarrassed by it that even try They're not even trying really you know they tried to write a little skit It's just lame now, but that's all because they can't allow any writers And the segments close good work So we'll stay here But we do need your help so we can continue to do things like

State of the Union, Media Reactions and Unity Rhetoric

President Trump's State of the Union address focused on a theme of "choosing greatness" while drawing sharp criticism from media outlets like MSNBC. Despite calls for unity in the speech, reports surfaced of Trump mocking political rivals like Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer during a private lunch with news anchors. Polls indicated a highly polarized response to the address along party lines.

donald trump· joe biden· state of the union· unity· msnbc

45:50 What were you doing? You were looking at Elizabeth Warren's... That's value for value right there. You made my podcasting partner go look at Liz Warren pictures. Danger pay, I say danger pay is in order. Well we can start off talking about this the State of the Union speech with NBC's, in this case it was a compilation that they did right off. This is MSNBC take on so to blaming Biden is kind of an interesting little tidbit they took the State of the Union speech

46:32 And instead of analyzing, no no no. They're gonna take the State of the Union speech and then put some old Trump material in there where he's being slamming somebody a little more state of the union slamming somebody slammin' slammin' slammin', and then they're going ah! He's a horrible person. Whoa you got butt slammed! Sorry yeah I think these guys are so stupid that they allow it...they have all the Trump slams of Biden And it's like they're condemning Trump for slamming Biden, but at the same time they're letting all this... anti-Biden propaganda go over the air, even though they're supposedly mocking it. I'm wondering whether they hate Biden and they're doing this on purpose and letting Trump take... It's like you know well this guy said this then you play a clip of him even though it's what YOU think! You know John? What I think is happening right now is there are so many contenders potentially for the 2020 United States election which is just ridiculous that we're gonna...I refuse to talk about it for the next two years but okay we'll have to do something

47:36 All these different stations are all different fractions. CNN is choosing their people, NBC News is choosing their people and they're doing it to... Well first of all the kind of vetting you know who has access to money so the one who's kind of quiet right now was Beto But he showed up on Oprah, you know Oprah's own network and he said I'll let something know by the end of the month. You know so he's doing the rounds and The media outlets are just seeing okay who really has the capability to spend a lot of money advertising with us And they promote them

48:13 Yeah, and that's probably exactly what it is. And of course the big money person who will come in late in the game because she has learned her lesson... Is Hillary. Not to commit too early and that is Hillary but let us just listen to this little bit here which is pretty funny. This is a time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and memory that link us together as citizens, as neighbors, as patriots. You are a rude terrible person That's okay I know you're not thinking...you never do They call her Pocahontas Very low IQ! Low IQ This is our future Our fate

48:52 and our choice to make. Lowlife, she's a lowlife We call him 1% Biden until Obama took him off the trash heap he couldn't do anything now he is talking about running I think she is very bad for our country I am asking you to choose greatness no matter the trials we face No matter the challenges that come That hair is getting whiter and whiter He's getting crazier and crazier! We must go forward together Thank you to the brilliant people on my team who put that together. That says it all, I don't really have anything to add. The person who called for unity said all those things so it's do as I say not do as I do and if that moment during last night's address seems sanctimonious consider what Trump told a group of TV anchors at a private lunch literally hours before

49:38 When Peter Baker in the New York Times, he writes quote Mr. Trump dismissed former Vice President Joe Biden is dumb called Senator Chuck Schumer of New York and nasty son of a bleep and mocked Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia who he said choked like a dog at a news conference where he tried to explain a racist yearbook photo. That's according to multiple people in the room joining us is the reporter with that scoop, Peter Baker New York Times chief White House correspondent. Peter Baker there are some things that you read about him that are amazing and it wasn't choke like a dog instead of a bleep that was amazing what was amazing is they tried to spin the anchors that there was going to be some grace note in this speech and he was gonna talk about unity that to me was the big whopper lie of the night

50:20 Well, it's one thing to try to turn a corner and pivot away from some of the division that has been out there. And try in effect set a new tone of bipartisanship or unity but to have just a few hours earlier lunch like this where you make clear that is not really what is in your head and heart at that moment... You know its pretty striking I think your right. But forget about his head and heart here's what else came out of hi mouth he said he hoped he would get to run against Biden Biden was never very smart. He was a terrible student, his gaffes are unbelievable! When I say something that you might think is a gaffe it's on purpose it's not a gaffe when Biden says something dumb it's because he's dumb yeah they do not want Biden to run that's for sure Yeah I think they're not protecting him at all You know and this is what's-her-face Nicole Wallace who used to work for she was Republican she worked with the Republicans

51:15 She's really just mean she's bitter and bitter, and I think Van Jones You know he said the same thing that she just did there except. He did it in seven seconds I saw this as a psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop I mean you nailed it man Just say that not sure what it means It doesn't mean anything cookies and dog poop Yeah, well it was funny to look at the numbers that seem to have come out of this speech which is a huge positive response from the Republicans to the tune of 97 percent. And 30 percent for the Democrats and 82 for the Independents which is really all that counts. Right! How much for the Independents? Eighty-two. Whose numbers are these?

Congressional Fashion, Women in White at SOTU

Democratic women in Congress wore white to the State of the Union to honor the suffragette movement, a move led by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The visual display was described as a "sorority club" atmosphere by critics, who also noted Speaker Nancy Pelosi's frequent paper-shuffling and signaling to the floor. The segment debates the effectiveness and fashion choices of the coordinated protest.

nancy pelosi· alexandria ocasio-cortez· suffragettes· state of the union· fashion

52:06 But this came from the sources that is a good source and it was used. I think I first saw it on C-SPAN, but it was a decent source. Speaking of which, speaking of C-SPAN, they started to do all kinds of... They made all kinds of directorial decisions I had not seen before They were cutting to people when it was a bit they would have shot cues. They were ready There were tight zooms talk about socialism boom there's Bernie I mean they had this down You don't know that this wasn't a feed that we're taking from NBC ABC or CBS? Uh, I don't It's a pool so I don't know who was in charge of it but it was

52:53 Not as neutral as C-SPAN typically is. I would take, I would assume they're taking somebody else's feed That's something we need to look at They're not going to change their style Their style is put the camera up there and leave it there Well it was a departure from previous State of the Unions Yeah At least what I've seen. And we should probably say the State of the Union, because everyone in the world has heard about it because all foreign press just gets up in the morning copy paste and translates into English whatever The New York Times or WAPO, whatever they said... USA Today! And then they you know they paste that file it have some coffee good to go

53:34 So, State of the Union is something in our Constitution where from time to time the President shall update both houses of Congress on the State of the Union. All this is just show. It's show and it's also quite honestly he said that the State of the Union is strong It's like, well I disagree. I think we got lots of problems. I would have thought it better although Trump would never do that if he said we got our issues but we're doing okay! Something like that would have been a little more fair. The funny thing is is that there was a good rundown uh...I think it was done by the Times or one of the papers of the length of the speeches

54:22 And it's very clear when you look at the shortest speeches and the longest speeches that the shortest speeches are always done by Republicans. And the longest speeches are always done by Democrats except Trump falls into the Democrat camp Having two of the longest speeches 82 and 88 minutes Right under the record breaker, which was Bill Clinton I think it was 90 minutes shit. This thing should have been 45 minutes tops It shouldn't have been that there's some there are something if you look at this that this little There are some shorties, some 30-minute speeches which would be just fine. We don't need this long speech." Well what it is... This was his... It was a tone I liked his tone by the way i thought he struck the right tone uh i think that that does matter something about it was just right He started off with a lot of heavy breathing and got that under control um

55:17 the it was more like a rally. It's just he didn't have the enthusiasm of a rally but had all the same topics and he had moments where, like when he got everyone all over the house chanting USA! USA! I would've been like alright let's go that's what we need everybody see ya. He should've walked off right there would have been perfect Alright we have unity? I've done it We all love USA Go USA and I'm out that would have been fantastic But no then he came back with the ripping babies from mothers wombs. It was a real roller coaster Well, then there's the issue of these idiotic white dresses well That's that's Nancy's little army Nancy's army who she signaling to like be quiet What the hell was Nancy doing with those papers oh

56:11 What was in those papers that she had to shuffle? She's like an anchor at the desk She's shuffling the papers. She's standing up looking at the paper and a little desk It was really And she's I think this is just age, you know be ages But yeah You're in your 80s and you don't realize everyone sitting down and we're moving on Oh crap when you shelf my paper sit down now And then just signaling for people to get up, for people to sit down. It was pathetic I think it made...it really was a disservice to these women in my opinion. Every Republican woman who was in the white and they were doing high-fives. Democrat, Democrat not Republicans. It looked silly like a sorority club or something is very...I thought it was

56:58 demeaning to be honest about it, but they C-SPAN did have a little thing at the end where they were had that mic out there and they're asking everybody would walk by for some comments. And so they wanted to know what this what the point of white was why wasn't it red? It could have been yellow how about blue how about green? Jayapal of Washington, a Democrat. First of all the Democratic women were all dressed in white for what reason? Yes it was very powerful and you saw that almost all of us were on the Democratic side of the chamber there were a couple of moments there where President Trump mentioned women and the power of women I don't think he expected us to take it the way we did but we all started high-fiving each other and we were very happy

57:42 that the power of women was recognized. I would just point out we were all on the Democratic side of the chamber. It seemed a little playful, though he was playing with you a little bit there. Yeah, I don't think he really had a choice. We sort of took over the floor at that moment and it was really about the contributions of women to this country and we're very proud that we have the most diverse, the most female Congress that we've seen in a long time Okay, now I'm gonna ask the question that you heard what she said. He asked the question for what reason did you wear white? Well, I know what was written about this it was to celebrate the suffragettes That seemed to be written after the fact as an excuse and if you go back and look at suffragette stuff there weren't they were a bustle

58:33 A bustle? Do tell, what is a bustle? It's that thing that makes your hips look like they're huge and makes the dress flare way out. Oh! A bustle... Like you have a corset and then a bustle Yeah, a corset then a bustle Well, this is again. He asked her specifically for what reason? What did she say that she answered that question? Oh no, I don't know. I listened to it a couple times She couldn't answer because nobody knows it was a thing and say suffragettes as far as I'm concerned It was the thing that AOC started when she took her oath when she was sworn in And she at the time said it was representative of the suffragettes. I think it was an AOC thing that Nancy wanted to keep under control and she wanted to pull it all towards her, and then I think the combo with the white with the pearls they all had on was kind of a fashion no-no? Oh that was horrible look! Yeah I mean I've been around fashion like... No this is not... Although AOC's white outfit was stunning

59:33 What a great outfit. I like that a lot, that was good She had a stylish oufit she's the only one Oh yeah no that was a great outfit and i love you know you see some woman like with black on oh boy or someone with red hello state of the union five years ago because it used to be they all came in red you know the power women It's dumb this white thing was pretty interesting to see from the camera angle but it was...I don't think it was..i think it was a flop Well, it identified everybody and yeah. It was about them well This is what's interesting is they were all scowling at all But most were scowling we're not clapping until it was about them and then they were all jumping up and down Yeah Which is like okay? Who are you really there for man? It was to me. It was a fun show to watch it was way too long I mean that and I think Trump should have had the

Paul Tonko, Climate Change as National Security Solution

Representative Paul Tonko argued on C-SPAN that climate change is the "ultimate solution" to national security and international harmony. Tonko advocated for aggressive legislation, including weatherization, grid modernization, and a price on carbon. The hosts question the phrasing of his statements and the scientific evidence cited for the urgency of these policies.

paul tonko· climate change· national security· carbon tax· green new deal

1:00:34 The showmanship to know when to stop it or he should have reordered some of these topics and gotten some other things. It just, the flow was way too rollercoaster there was no build up to the end in that regard it was poor very poor. I didn't think much of it but I never liked any of these now we did have a guy again back to the C-SPAN guy I thought this was funny This Paul Tonko, he comes in and he condemns the speech for a reason that was was kind of unexpected, but I got a kick out of this because it's thematic for our show. What committees are you on and what are your legislative goals for this being in the majority? Sure, I serve on Energy & Commerce and I serve on Science Space & Technology under Energy & Commerce I now have the chairmanship responsibility of the subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change so very distressed that i didn't hear a word

1:01:33 about climate change when the president talks about national security, climate change is an ultimate solution. When he talks about international harmony, climate change is a threat to that harmony we need to address it." Wait a minute I want to go back and listen to that again that was pretty that was pretty stellar Climate change is an ultimate solution. Sounds very creepy, let's go back a little more. About climate change when the president talks about national security climate change is the ultimate solution So national security and climate change are the ultimate solutions? That's exactly what he said What do you think that means I wonder myself ever since he said that I've been wondering what it might mean

1:02:21 Climate change is the ultimate solution to national security. How does that work? What in what way is it the ultimate solution and anytime well, it's an ultimate solution Yeah Nazis what it sounds like yeah not they had the ultimate solution creep When he talks about international harmony, climate change is a threat to that harmony. We need to address it I will tell you we're going to continue forward with our advocacy for climate change to be addressed. We're having our first hearing tomorrow. We will show the American public that we hear the people

1:03:00 We will embrace and respect science. Let them know we understand the urgency, and we will work very hard to develop solutions based on science and evidence." So we're going to have a very aggressive approach. There's been a dry spell for far too long in the House of Representatives with this issue not being addressed. It impacts greatly on our economy. It impacts on public health and it's costing us dearly." Yeah, well AOC or the AOC faction just came out with a new version of the New Green Deal which I haven't had a chance to review but i will for Sunday so...it's kind of like the Constitution you know? It's a living document

1:03:44 Now we do have the guy saying that the public is irked by all this, that we haven't been discussing it enough. I don't know anyone who's irked by personally but maybe it's just me he's just making this up as he goes along but it but the truth comes out in the second part of his clip where he mentions really what this always going to be about as snuck in there as usual. You'll hear it. So you bring a spotlight to that issue, but if you want legislation A what kind of legislation would you aim for? And B what are gonna do about the Senate Okay, I think we have support in both houses and I believe there's growing support based on the public desire to have this issue addressed. So i'm confident we can approach this issue along two tracks simultaneously one where we harvest the low-hanging fruit energy efficiency weatherization conservation

1:04:39 research grid modernization, recharging stations that are made more accessible more readily fueling the cars that we electrify and then also on a separate track but... Wait what did he say? More readily back a little more here great modernization grid modernization, whatever that means Recharging stations that are made more accessible more readily fueling the cars then This is an odd statement to say recharge stations more readily available to fuel the cars. We electrify and then also re-electrify separate track but simultaneously address a price on carbon so that we can have absolute measurement of reduction of carbon pollution

1:05:30 We need to be much more soundly the stewards of our environment, and we need to respect the generations that will follow us. Your district has been affected by industrial job loss. The president seems to have an industrial policy. Do you agree with him? Not always I think he his rhetoric doesn't match his actions Hmm. So the guys in a, in a rust belt area and I guess is that nobody can get work because of him and his stupid ideas but they keep voting them in so what are you gonna do? It's a Democrat bunch of Democrat union guys as my guess. All right anyway that's one of the things that I noticed. The climate...I call them the climate change jerk

Media Whipsaws, National Emergency Reporting

NBC News is accused of using "whipsaw" reporting tactics to frame President Trump's comments on a potential national emergency. The segment highlights how reporters claim Trump is "ramping up threats" without providing direct clips, instead using unrelated questions to Kellyanne Conway to create a narrative of conflict. The hosts argue this represents a systemic bias in mainstream news coverage.

nbc news· national emergency· border wall· kellyanne conway· media bias

1:06:22 You want to transition to climate change for a minute or do you want to stick with the State of the Union? No, I got a couple more other things. I do have a switchback example that was on the State of the Union speech done by NBC Well we can't do anything until you call it a whipsaw! I can't remember what they call it Whipsaw! Tomorrow night the state of the union divided with President Trump fighting on multiple fronts like immigration The very topic that prompted the first 35 day government shutdown now, mr. Trump is refusing to rule out a second shut down unless Democrats fund his border wall well we're gonna have to see what happens Come on say it so let's go over this one He refuses he refuses to rule out as second shuts down. We'll see what happens

1:07:15 And he says, we'll see what happens. How is that ruling it out? Not at all! It's not ruling it out at all. She just said that and I've never heard him make an assertion. I refuse to rule out a second... No, he never did that. Then they have this lame clip of him saying... I mean, let me listen to it again. Tomorrow night the State of the Union divided with President Trump fighting on multiple fronts like immigration the very topic that prompted the first 35-day government shutdown now Mr. Trump is refusing to rule out a second shut down unless Democrats fund his border wall well we're gonna have to see what happens yeah and it's even more interesting that you know this is threatening threatening with them national emergency

1:08:03 That was a question that was initially asked by member of the press and he said oh yeah I could do that this possibility He never came out and stated it. The press you know hounded him for it Yeah, there's at least that's the only instance I can recall Well, I think we've already isolated what's really going to happen which is not a national emergency. No it's 10 USC 284 which gives the president this absolute authority to implement all the things he has been talking about under the auspices of stopping drugs and transnational crime and that's already law and he doesn't have to get any appropriation for it He can just go do it Yeah!

1:08:42 If anyone listens to this show regularly, they'll note that this is one of the greatest observations that I think we've ever put out there. And I was glad you used it when I came up with it. Let's see if he uses it! He will use it. It's obvious with that guy when he's questioning... We can go back and do that segment again but let's go to the second by the way There's a series about four switchback or whipsaws These are the only two that were the best, and so I just took these two. This is number 2." And the president is ramping up his threats to declare a national emergency even as some allies urge him not too How can President Trump strike a unifying note at its State of Union address with the threat of a national emergency on the table? Well, the two are not the same The national emergency if he were in fact to execute on that, Kristen which he has not so far Is because he believes we have a crisis On the southern border

1:09:34 Wait a minute, I missed this one. Okay let's start it again. Welker says he is ramping up his threats to declare a national emergency! They can't even find any sort of clip that would have anything to do with this. So they bring in Kellyanne Conway? So they bring in Kelly and ask her an obscure question that has nothing to do with what she says. Where's so the point is that they're this is a little more advanced instead of you exemplifying the The idiotic with a comment that's got nothing to do with it by the person That they're accusing of having something to do with it. They bring in a third party It can't even get that close I'm gonna play it again and the president is ramping up his threats to declare a national emergency Even as some allies urge him not to how?

1:10:29 How can President Trump strike a unifying note at his State of the Union address with the threat of a national emergency on the table? Well, the two are not the same. The national emergency if he were in fact to execute on that, Kristin, which he has not so far... is because he believes that we have a crisis on the southern border. Well also she put in there that allies are urging him not to do this what I didn't even know the ally's were urging this well we didn't have an example of that either and they go to Kellyanne Conway who was an obvious ally And she was like befuddled by the question. So he's not ramping up his threats, this is NBC in a shameful really misleading reporting that just never ends which is exactly what Glenn Greenwald said at the beginning of the show from that clip of his says these guys are just hopeless and the Republican well Fox News I should just say Fox News but here's an example of Fox News

1:11:28 Home run! Knocked it out of the park. Great speech!" That's pretty much what everyone said. That was it, that was all... Home run! Knocked it out of the park coach. Racking and rolling great job And then they all go off and yell about the women in white and everything. It is so harmful to your health, and I hope that a lot of No Agenda producers tried to save some of their family members not even let them watch it. Just just in these cases it's much healthier to let us do that

Listener Feedback, Email Blocking Incident

A donor named Pafunk sent a $333 donation following an email dispute where he was blocked for questioning the host's radio listening habits.

Yeah And it was like, they... It was back and forth where I said that I I listened to Michael Savage and switched to Hannity, and found that Hannity was executing something Savage was bitching about executing advertising-wise.

Jack Dorsey on Joe Rogan, Twitter User Interface

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience to discuss the platform's unique role in global politics. Dorsey explained that Twitter's "single surface" model, where replies have the same weight as original posts, distinguishes it from other social media. The interview faced criticism for not being aggressive enough on the topic of deplatforming, especially given Dorsey's company sponsors the podcast.

jack dorsey· joe rogan· twitter· square cash· user interface

1:30:05 For housekeeping, I sent this donation in Canadian. Okay well... Just to confuse things even more! Your moobs are light. Alright. Joe Rogan had a Jack Dorsey on his show. He had the Taliban beard Yeah that's pretty much all you can say about him but it was quite interesting i thought it was A good interview? No, it was not really a great interview but I heard the things that Dorsey was saying and I did bring a couple clips to share. What was kind of interesting is that Rogan put out on Instagram, oh Jack's gonna come back because a lot of people are really unhappy that we didn't address deplatforming deeply enough

1:30:57 Which is like, wow. Okay I mean it certainly was addressed but and he gave the answers i just you know maybe people don't hear it um and there were some other issues with this i mean i think that if you're gonna have a main advertiser on your show are you going to interview them that you kind of should mention that up front not until almost at the end of the interview as rogan gets ready to promote the square cash app does it kind of come up like yeah yeah we really love your cash app Yeah, so he's getting paid. So that you know that That's what we call that it's just not clean Okay, there's a native ad

1:31:40 Well, it wasn't but it's just like a plagola. Yeah It's like you know this whole I mean that's when you get is then when people feel that you didn't dive into a topic deep enough They're gonna get accused while at your it's your advertiser which of course is true and I'm sure that the Rogan You know? You always think about these things. I gotta piss this guy off and by the way why would you he has some interesting thoughts So I'd like to play a few clips That I that I selected from from this interview that answers a lot of questions at least did for me. I'm not quite sure why people didn't feel they got enough out of it The first thing is how Twitter and you know when you're listening to these guys talk we listen to Dorsey talk And I had to cut out a lot of pauses so that disclaimer up front You realize that you know Twitter

1:32:32 The thing about Twitter that to me is the most interesting is its use by politicians. And, you know, and of course Trump started this really started the big use of it but as you realize that all over the world leaders and politicians are using Twitter now in a similar fashion to Trump maybe not with the same fabulous humor but they are using it to set policy and communicate directly with their constituents It's kind of a big deal. It's plumbing and it's much bigger than Instagram or Facebook in that regard because it's so instantaneous, well a lot of it has to do also with the way it functions and as we've discussed in a lot of our different segments about this its user interface is really what makes Twitter unique And not the colors but giving weight

1:33:30 To an original post giving the same weight to the comments and this is the reason although not implied in this clip The reason why Twitter blocks that you know, you can't basically create a different Twitter client You have to use theirs because they know The minute someone changes the visual context of Twitter their game ends. The thing is every on Instagram or any blog, you have this post statement and you've comments underneath. Whereas with Twitter everything is on the same surface right it's all one surface You know there is room for both models but I... This conversation most conversations its not you making a statement and me just reacting to that Our conversation evolves based on what we say

1:34:17 interrupt one another. We can completely change the subject, I can take control of the conversation and the people who might find that interesting follow it and folks don't just stop listening whereas you can do that in a post comment model. But it's also thinking, it's just so close to thinking like there is no composition and I think that deeper... How so? how was it different than a post on Instagram or a post on Facebook The speed demands you know the character constraint the speed kind of just demands more conscious present focused thinking versus like stepping back

CHAPTER 19 / 39 Discussion

Twitter Content Moderation, Conduct vs Speech

Jack Dorsey claims Twitter moderates based on user conduct rather than the content of speech. He explained that "down-ranking" or shadow-banning is an automated process driven by machine learning models that identify harassment and coordinated behavior. Dorsey expressed a desire to move toward more automated enforcement to promote "healthier" conversations on the platform.

jack dorsey· shadow banning· machine learning· artificial intelligence· content moderation

1:34:59 Composing a letter. Yeah, and composing a letter and thinking about all the outcomes. That makes sense now because of this because they maniacally control the way it's presented the way the information is presented This is where they get to do a lot of things like shadow banning only They don't call it shadow banning They just call it like moving you down And kind of you know moving you away so people don't see you right away in the end So this is the main I'm sorry did you want say something? No, I thought you're going. This is kind of the main clip about the de-platforming and it was always a riddle to me and that's Tina as well would be like well how can this person say this? And they don't get in trouble yet this person says it and they get warned or kicked off and what the conversation always

1:35:49 goes down to is, well that person's right-wing. That person's liberal. That person's Democrat. That person Republican you know they're suppressing Republicans and not suppressing liberals. Dorsey's answer to this was very surprising they don't look at the actual content at all it's about conduct so the simple answers we look at conduct We don't look at the speech itself, we look at conduct. We look at how the tool is being used and you're right in that I think when people see Twitter they see and they expect it to be a public square They can go into that public square or say whatever they want They can get on the pedestal And people might gather around them and listen what they have to say Some of them might find it offensive and leave The difference

1:36:43 There's there's also this concept of this megaphone and the megaphone can be highly targeted now with Twitter as well, right? So it's not it's not the it's not the speech. It's how its amplified When do you decide this is harassment when you side This is hate speech when like how do you I mean this we look at the conduct an absolute is a fictional account Right fictional person were talking about but what would dictate something that was egregious enough for you to eliminate them from your platform Well, that's a heavy action. So that's the last resort but we look at the conduct the probability of someone who is

1:37:23 harassing one person, it's highly probable that they're also harassing 10 more people. Right? So we can look at that behavior we can look at how many times this person is being blocked or muted or reported and based on all those all that data We can actually take some action but we also have to we have to correlate it with the other side of that because people go on and they coordinate blocks as well. And they coordinate harassment, and they coordinate reporting a particular account to get it shut down into take the voice off service so these are the considerations we have to make but its all starts with conduct in often times you'll see

1:38:09 coordinated conduct, whether it be that one person opening multiple accounts or coordinating with multiple accounts that they don't own to go after someone. And there's a bunch of vectors people use retweet for that the quote tweet for that a lot as well like you know they'll quote tweet a tweet that someone finds and they'll say look at this idiot Twitter do your thing and then just this mob starts and goes and tries to effectively shut that person down so there's a bunch of tools we can use the permanent suspension is the last resort one of the things that we can do is We can down rank the replies. So I

1:38:50 Any of these behaviors and conduct that look linked, we can actually push farther down in the reply chain. So it's all still there but you might have to push a button to actually see it. You might have to show more replies to actually see this harassing account or what might look like harassing language So I buy this. Of course there's always exceptions to it, but I do think that's kind of how it happens because it makes sense that it's not so much about what someone is saying but you know there are so many of these... we see it ourselves You get someone who's tweeting out shit to you, shit to me There's a conversation and she just goes racist!

1:39:35 Just starts yelling in that regard if you know code, please Yes, of course in that regard It makes sense because, you know it is a public square the way he views it and people yelling and not being constructive. There's a lot of this conversation talk that he does And he backs it up by explaining how the initial work Not the platforming, not kicking off but definitely identification of abusive conduct and subsequent shadow banning is what we'll call it. That is really done by, as he calls it, artificial intelligence! And this is manually done? No no no... This is all automated It's automated?! Yeah yeah But how would you know...? A lot of the ranking and looking at amplification and looking at the network I love how Dorsey just says automated

1:40:30 Then Rogan of course is automated right like in terms of down ranking Is there a discussion as to whether or not this person's reply should be down ranked like how? Do you how, do you figure that out it's it's a machine learning and deep learning model and they just whoa? Road so it's AI I'm really blown away. Yeah skip logic is what it is if If this person has five mutes then consider him to be downranked. It's just skip logic, it's not a- I love doors. It's machine learning isn't it? Whoa! AI! Whoa! It's it's a machine learning and deep learning model and they just- It's AI. And they've raised you know we

1:41:08 We look at how these things are doing and where they make mistakes, and then we improve it. It's just constantly improving and constantly learning. Those are the things that our technology allows. It changes the velocity, it changes how to broadcast a message that someone didn't really ask for or didn't want to hear. If I follow Joe Rogan You'll see every single tweet. We don't touch it, right? But that's an audience that you earn but in your replies page we have a little bit more room because this is a conversation that starts up and some people just want to disrupt it and all were saying

1:41:48 we're going to look at moving the disruption down. Not that it's hidden, but it's still there but you just see a little bit farther down The algorithms rank and order the conversation but they don't take suspension actions They don't remove content They might suggest to human to look at this who might look at our rules and look at the content and try to look at the context of the conversation and then take action But we would like to move towards a lot more automated enforcement, but more importantly how do we amplify more of the healthier discussion and conversation.

CHAPTER 20 / 39 Discussion

Blockchain Social Media, Bitcoin and the Fediverse

Jack Dorsey discussed the future of decentralized social media and the role of blockchain in ensuring content exists forever without central censorship. He expressed strong support for Bitcoin as the potential native currency of the internet. The segment also touches on the Alex Jones deplatforming and why Twitter initially resisted removing his account.

blockchain· bitcoin· fediverse· mastodon· jack dorsey

1:42:31 It's already apparent, you know and I look at the troll room as this is playing that people are like this bullshit Yeah, I believe him. I really did another time code now. I can't keep doing time codes. I Believe him. I think he's I think he he's telling a version of the truth that he wants to believe I'm sure there's all kinds of funny business going on but in general That's the way it's being run and he's smart Because he realizes that Twitter has no real future as a centralized service when you look at Mastodon and basically the federated universe, the Fediverse as we call it of social media which is growing quickly. And he wants to be a part of it but in this clip... We're almost done here

1:43:14 He sees Twitter's role in the Fediverse, which I thought was eye-opening. We're going to a world especially with technology like blockchain that all content that exists that is ever created will exist forever You won't be able to take it down you won't be able to censor it It won't be centralized at all our role is around what we recommend based on your interest and based on who you follow and helping you to get into that on ramp. But if you look at the architecture, it's a given that anytime something is created is going to exist forever. This is what blockchain helps enable down the line and we need to make sure that we're paying attention to that and also realizing

1:44:05 our role is like, how do we get people the stuff that they really want to see and find valuable that they'll learn from? That will make them think. That will help them evolve the conversation as well." Now I don't know how commercially viable that's going to be but to say you know our job is to get you what you want is...I think it's a pretty big statement versus everything happens on our platform he realizes that's not gonna be possible And also that negates the whole idea of having to de-platform someone if the tweets and the information is out, because he's talking about DHT, distributed hash space. Which is totally where this is going! And then the final one is his belief in...

1:44:50 Cryptocurrency specifically Bitcoin so back to the internet. I believe that and I will have a native currency Really? It'll have a native currency, and I don't know if it's Bitcoin And I think it will because just given all the tests that spin through and the principles behind it how is created and you know as something that was born on the Internet that was developed on the internet, that it was tested on the internet. It is of the internet I just look at this and like how do we embrace this technology not react to it in a you know more from a threat standpoint but like what does it enable us to do and where does our value shift? It's a fascinating time uh...in technology because like that that to me was one of those last big

1:45:35 centralized, nationalized instruments is currency. It's money and when you think about the internet as a country as a market as a nation it's going to have its own currency. And he puts his money where his mouth is they did the lightning network Bitcoin transfer thing yesterday participated in that so and that seems to give some credence to bitcoin is the future and I would have, I would have had a got a little mini man crush on Dorsey if he hadn't messed it up with just one at 12 seconds of answer messed it up

1:46:16 Can no longer like him one of my favorite things when someone post something stupid and then underneath it is a bunch of gifs We say gifts or GIFs how you say GIF does anybody know? Yes, I guess No, I'm sorry that's just wrong wow. I'm stunned Betty says gift he knows better He should know better the guy who invented it Calls it jifs. Calls it JIF. What does he know? So that kind of ruined the whole thing for me, that coupled with the lack of the question of how do you make money would have been interesting to know where does that billion dollars a quarter come from Yeah I'd like to know How much is ads are you selling to data brokers That would've been a good question Well that's probably what was going to bring him back

1:47:12 No, he's bringing him back to talk more about de-platforming. Oh that's a lie! He just said that just as a... I think for some reason he's already probably booked them to get him back because he likes them or wants to talk to them because it's cool to hang out with the rich guy. No Dorsey is coming back to rescind and call it gifs That's that's only reason to come back. Are you kidding me man? That's what he should go back for I don't know if he's really running his company with this insight and this deep learning, but I think he is saying some interesting things here. He does have a handle on what is happening and of course the shallow are only interested in... Why did Alex Jones get kicked off Ben?

1:47:57 I would still that was the Alex Jones question even asked yeah, but the answer was so long and it was a repeat because he said The same thing it was he said when and when he was deplatformed by Apple And everyone else they kept him on because they just didn't see any abusive conduct and to wit There was also very low reporting of his account He says that was the odd thing is that people were not reporting? And I think a lot of people forget to do that So, uh because you know it takes four clicks. You got to answer a survey you gotta do a yeah prove proof you're not a bot and then yeah And then you can say oh and then the well if nobody's with that why they get de-platformed? because apparently

Super Bowl LIII, Rams vs Patriots Branding

The New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in a low-scoring Super Bowl LIII. The hosts critique the Rams' "1970s" uniform style and branding, comparing it unfavorably to the Patriots' more modern aesthetic. The game's outcome is jokingly linked to political factors involving Elizabeth Warren and the New England region.

1:48:38 Conduct there was some some conduct that he used that the trumbo at the company You know they got social justice warriors working their behind Of course I mean, that's another question this guy. I'm gonna just drop him That's another thing yeah, it's a good computer told us to do it right It's great to have the kids computer as a backup excuse. I just thought it was I thought it was a good, I thought it was enlightening. I learned something. I did learn something. Yeah. Let's get to let's get at least catch up with the some current events? Yeah like how wrong we were about the Super Bowl. About the Super Bowl yeah well okay I mentioned in the newsletter what was the social political reasons for Boston to win or New England because Elizabeth Warren is can't be president We have no reason that's why

1:49:36 Maybe the game was rigged as possible that the game was rigged for the for the Rams to win, but they sucked so bad That no matter what you did if they'd only score three points a whole game Because they shut down the New England team and only scored 13 points. I mean, that's nothing for them or guess maybe 16 at the end No, but let's talk about something interesting Saying we said we'd talk about I promise we talked about me Yeah We were I thought the Rams you know, I kind of confused him with goats for goat power But of course the only goat was was uh was the team Yes now right now the Rams

1:50:14 These guys, they need a brand refresh. They need new uniforms, new helmets... I'm looking at these outfits and the Patriots got cool warrior helmets with little sides to it and little flat bits that look like it'll pop up and shoot a laser gun from the top And the Rams, hello 1970s uniform! That was just bad television. Oh God. Alright thats enough I guess I noticed some of that. No clips or anything, but i noticed the commercials

CHAPTER 22 / 39 Discussion

Super Bowl Commercials, Robots and Corn Syrup

Super Bowl LIII commercials featured a recurring theme of dystopian robots and "talking tubes" like Alexa. Bud Light ran a notable campaign attacking competitors for using corn syrup, which sparked a minor industry controversy. A co-sponsored ad between Bud Light and Game of Thrones is highlighted for its high production value and crossover appeal.

bud light· corn syrup· game of thrones· alexa· robots

1:50:51 Oh yes, let's talk about that. Too many commercials with robots and or talking tubes like it's and all of them not at all anywhere near reality they've got these you know Alexa-like you know Google devices that you know they just interrupt the conversation you have a real conversational flow with them compendium like there are four of them and then every ad had a robot this a robot that it was it was not It was not good. I don't think any of those ads were funny really or or Entertaining and it kind of showed this dystopian future that we're not even really living in because these talking tubes are still pretty lame I just didn't see yeah, like the T-Mobile ads actually thought those were the funniest I thought they bud light commercials with the king

1:51:43 Because I've been following these commercials since the beginning and they did a really good job. I thought Bud Light did a great job of pointing out the fact that the other light beers use corn syrup. Of course, they didn't point out that they use rice but all right... No! They pointed it out. They have their ingredients label and it says rice on there And they point that out, but they don't use corn syrup. I thought that was a good ad with the corn syrup barrel being moved from place to place. Yeah you're right that was funny. There's a lot of ads that were co-sponsored by more than one advertiser and I think the Bud Light commercial that was also co-sponsored by that show

1:52:27 That whatever that crazy shows with the dragon, that breeze of fire. Game of Thrones? The game of thrones. I never get those commercials you know you and i have just not for me i've tried i couldn't get through it until whenever these references it takes me until the very end Like, oh I see it was Game of Thrones. It's just lost on me! Well when it says Game of Thrones... Well at the end, the very end like it was duh! It's lost on you. So I like the Bud Light commercials just to say that they do a good job and I really find it very funny that this king, The Bud Light King who is something of a prick, I just find him very funny. Alright.

1:53:13 But Boston also had a this. Did you see this Antifa clip? I'm not sure it's real. No, what is this? I don't know some kid is on there is a meme floating around about some I'm from Antifa again, he has this little phrase he likes to use and it became a meme on the uh i think twitter or one of these systems but this is the antif play this just play boston antifa mpc meme chant okay dustin 29 here boston antifa.

No, I think shame shame shame will end it shame shame Shame all ended nicely Yeah, cuz we got some great end of show mixes today so we'll do that So, back to international news. I do have a Brexit clip. Ah good! I've been wondering what's going on? Yeah what's going on nothing Farage on his show on his LBC on his radio talk show LBC I think he dug up an old Corbyn clip and made it Corbyn is the socialist labor leader

CHAPTER 24 / 39 Discussion

Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit and the Labour Party

Nigel Farage highlighted an old clip of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn criticizing the European Union as a "Frankenstein" project. The discussion explores the tension within the Labour Party between pro-EU leadership and the traditional working-class base that supports Brexit. Farage suggests that Corbyn's historical skepticism might be the key to finalizing the UK's exit from the EU.

jeremy corbyn· nigel farage· brexit· labour party· european union

1:55:46 Yeah, he's the labor leader. He would be the prime minister if Labor ever took over and He found an old clip of Corbyn going on and on about how bad the whole idea of being in the EU is which is Yeah, to his host. By the way to me I'd like maybe you can explain because you live there quite a while. Mm-hmm. Labor the labor party was supposed to represent labor. Isn't that am I wrong about that is it's called Labor Party because it represents labor Yeah It's like one hour laundry if you want to be Just the name of it. If you want to be specific, it could be that they're about labor Yeah Because it seems to me that being in the EU is not really supporting British labor

1:56:42 No, no it's not. It's supporting British freedom of movement is what they always say. Yeah which is not the same as British Labour but so I've always wondered why the Labour Party was always so pro-EU and pro-Remainers when it's really the bankers that are the super Remainer's are the ones who want to stay around forever. Of course yes because they see themselves as a different class of people and their in their own city in the middle And so I was always baffled by this, but it doesn't surprise me that somebody from Labour would be against the EU. But let's just play this Farage clip where he is writing him about this.

1:57:27 I mean, I agree with that but gosh he's more Brexit than I am. I mean Corbyn is a hard-liner! I only called it the new Soviet he calls it a Frankenstein and yet how does that work? How does that fit with the shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer speaking on this very issue of second referendums If we cannot get a general election Labour must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote. That was our commitment I think there's going to be trouble ahead at some point. And remember folks, Corbyn is in a very powerful position and he turned a blind eye to eight of his shadow ministers last week going against the party line on the Cooper amendment. Goodness knows could it be that it's Jeremy Corbyn that saves Brexit? Wow what a thought!

Trumpy Bear, Political Collectibles Market

The "Trumpy Bear," a plush toy featuring a red tie and a concealed American flag, is discussed as a potential high-value political collectible. The segment compares it to historical memorabilia, such as 1960s Kennedy bumper stickers. The hosts analyze the long-term investment potential of modern political novelty items.

trumpy bear· collectibles· john f kennedy· memorabilia· marketing

1:58:24 You know Faraj, he kind of lost a little credibility with me. He's just yelling on the sidelines Yeah pretty much It's like okay where are they at though? I don't know that he's even...I mean he's not the best radio guy His voice is so recognizable though that makes it great you're just like oh you know it immediately That's him right off the bat Oh! You're kind of uh.. I call you an expert on collectibles I don't want to say hoarder, but you're an expert on collectibles. You know when you... I know how the market works yes. I saw a commercial, I don't know if it was local or if it was a national spot for the Trumpy Bear? Have you seen this thing? I've not heard about the Trumpy Bear. Well, I thought you would have seen it. TrumpyBear.com And look at it! It's this bear that has red tie

1:59:22 Blue suit, you know like a teddy bear with Trump hair orange Trump hair which is then you can comb it and then if you zip him open an American flag comes out. It's like it's one of the most unbelievable products I've ever seen this has got to be a collectible 35 bucks for this thing. Your limited edition Trumpy Bear, $32.95. What do you think? Is this a collectible or is it just something that'll clutter everything up? No it's totally a collectible and would go into the political collections that end up in museums usually with all the other stuff associated bumper stickers buttons pennants

2:00:07 Wall hangings, there's a lot of them in there. They're collectible the problem with collecting this stuff is not a near-term collection This is uh you need for the long haul yeah You got it? You gotta hold on to it Yeah, you gotta hold on to this puppy I do have a collection over some political stuff including ox A box? A box of Kennedy bumper stickers from 1960, I guess it's 62. Wow! No 64. What did they say? Oh 62 is 60 no it was 60 1960 says Kennedy the it's in a very distinctive font and I have like I must have 100 of them and I don't know somewhere along the lines they just grabbed 100 and put him in a box and somehow kept it since 1960

CHAPTER 26 / 39 Discussion

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Public Appearance Conspiracy Theories

Reports from the Associated Press and Washington Post claimed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made her first public appearance since surgery at a private concert. However, the lack of photographs from the event has fueled online conspiracy theories regarding her actual health status. The hosts discuss the political implications of her potential absence from the Supreme Court.

ruth bader ginsburg· supreme court· washington post· conspiracy· health

2:00:50 And they're still good. I think it'd be funny to have a Kennedy bumper sticker on your car, but they're only even as collectibles are worth maybe $5 apiece, maybe a dollar. See that's what I love about you because he said, I'm holding onto him anyway one day there'll be worth money down at five dollars today is seven tomorrow. If you could get that kind of money for them. Yeah okay Let me see. There was something odd... Associated Press reported the day before the State of the Union, which was also picked up by The Washington Post that Ruth Bader Ginsburg made her first public appearance since undergoing lung cancer surgery in December. Yeah? So what they claim is that she wasn't at the State of the Union—we saw her absence—but

2:01:54 85 year old Ginsburg is attending a concert at a museum, a few blocks from the White House that is being given by her daughter-in-law and other musicians. The concert is dedicated to Ginsburg's life in law She had surgery in New York on December 21st she missed arguments at the court for first illness related absence of more than 25 years The justice sat in the back of the darkened auditorium at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The National Constitution Center, which sponsored the concert did not permit photography." Well interestingly there's tons of photos from this event tons of them on Instagram everywhere and not a single one of Ginsburg

2:02:37 And this just fuels conspiracy theories. I think, well it should! They've got to keep at least they have to keep Keep it going? They gotta keep her quote-unquote alive She's alive! They have to keep her alive for two years even though she may not be alive Okay They gotta keep her alive for 12. No, I think they can do it for a year and then they can stall Oh yeah Then they can stall with the argument that although with all with the Senate being really run by Republicans They not may not be able to completely stall

2:03:21 I mean, they'll try to stall like they did with this last guy Kavanaugh. Right But they have to do that so now it's gonna be people on the lookout for her she's gotta show up somewhere Producer Seth and I put it all in The Show Notes he wrote- He has this...I mean This is like You can find a lookalike by the way and get away with that They should yeah There are old ladies out there that look like her. Producer Seth did a huge rundown with links and everything, you know to back up his assertion that she's dead and this is being covered up by the fake news media so that was here at Washington Post

2:04:01 Says the same thing, makes her first appearance and this was a day before the State of the Union. And then we heard nothing after that. I didn't hear anyone talking about her not being there nor was Clarence Thomas. Well... But yeah, you're right they have to keep her quote-unquote alive for at least a year! Okay, The Watch is on It's like that weekend at what was it? Weekend at Bernie's. Weekend at Bernie's, yeah. That's about right. Yeah. Hey how you doing? I'm just going to coin a little term here. I'm not quite sure even if it's the right term yet but we need something like living the app life or app society. I think living the app life may be better because this is what a lot of young people are doing and is living their lives through apps such as IKEA

CHAPTER 27 / 39 Discussion

App Life Economy, IKEA Rentals and Scooter Accidents

The "app life" trend is expanding with IKEA announcing a furniture rental service and the rise of peer-to-peer car rentals. A recent accident in Austin involving a rented electric scooter and a car rented through an app highlights the complex insurance and liability issues of the gig economy. The segment critiques the lack of safety regulations, such as helmet requirements, for scooter users.

ikea· uber· electric scooters· austin· insurance

2:05:00 who have just announced that they will have an app, very similar to Uber where you'll be able to rent furniture from IKEA. This is how bad it must be! Oh brother... You wondered how the economy was doing? Yes and I think the next step is you rent someone else's IKEA furniture It's coming, this sad state of affairs And then this happened in Austin.

2:05:39 the wrong way on the frontage road. Kegs and Eugene Cho discovered some new information about the car involved, and also spoke with people who ride scooters about how they're trying to stay safe. I talked to the owner of that car that was involved in this crash here at this very busy intersection he told me he was actually renting out his car through an app called hire car. He said the driver who is driving his cars through So this is a fantastic situation. I'd like to know how it works with the insurance So you have someone who used an app to rent an electric scooter Was then hit by someone using an app to rent someone else's car It sounds like we're dealing with the future We are living in the future, but who who's responsible? Who now who pays for what where does the insurance come in and

2:06:36 Well, first of all, who's at fault is supposed to pay for everything. And the insurance company typically is supposed to orchestrate that scenario. Yeah good luck with that I can't wait to see if anything comes up this summer has got to come with it but it does bring up an issue that needs to be addressed which is people renting bikes and renting scooters are not having a helmet in a state that requires helmets We don't require helmets. We do in California, I know this happens- I don't see anyone on a scooter with a helmet on This happened in Austin No! I see the uh...I see these people and they're a lot of homeless on the bicycle and he's got no helmet Okay Do you want to go talk to him about it? Hey buddy Where is your helmet?! I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda Imagine all the people who could deal with us Oh yeah that'd be fab On KnowAgenda

BBC Climate Change Coverage, European Solidarity Corps

The BBC's coverage of climate change is criticized for refusing to give airtime to contrarian views, labeling the science as "overwhelming." The discussion highlights a new EU initiative called the European Solidarity Corps, which the hosts compare to the Hitler Youth for its focus on mobilizing young people for environmental action. A clip of a young girl being interviewed about her refusal to fly due to "fumes" is used to illustrate perceived indoctrination.

2:17:59 Thank you all very much for supporting us at Dvorak.org slash NA Visit us for our big 1111 show on Sunday a lot of excitement for that Big lucky numbers big, big, big lucky numbers I did want to do a little climate change stuff Okay, you know the climate gate? Yeah You know it doesn't feel right the climate gate because you know this is not...I mean that was how many years ago was the climate gate years ago. In 12 years. Make sure that you mention the 12 years! Producer Simon got put together a couple of clips for us from BBC's breakfast show Radio 5, it was hoity-toity so this is intelligence abound there on radio five and let's share some of the current

2:19:12 information, information refining that is going on in the United Kingdom of Gitmo East. First off let's go on about the myth busting and the myth that this ain't happening or it's not man-made or human responsibility there's quite a lot of this online and it goes all the way up to President Trump who notoriously said that there is no such thing as climate change it's all a Chinese conspiracy to attack American capitalism and you see it from commentators online but the BBC quite responsibly now, it's like evolution no equivalence is given to the naysayers because the science is overwhelming isn't it Carly? Overwhelming! Yeah I mean you're quite right and I think in some ways talking about as a myth and kind of raising attention again implies that there is some sort of you know some equalness too to these two sides and they just absolutely isn't

2:20:08 The evidence is overwhelming. So you don't have anyone on who has had contrarians, it's overwhelming there should be no equivalence at all maybe we've reached some form of tipping point? What's absolutely clear about climate change is that it's a big problem and it's urgent and we all absolutely need to do something about it But yeah, what's with there's no there's no absolute certainty over the over the Over the timescale sometimes we've been hearing recently about a 12-year time scale and in some ways that's useful to think about Wait I thought we were gonna die in twelve years now. It's just useful to think about but nobody really knows whether oh

2:20:55 whether 10 years might be a timescale that we've got before something really nasty, before we start tipping feedback mechanism that makes quite nasty things happen in our climate or whether we've got 15 years or whether we've already gone over that tipping point. Bullshit! I mean i don't know what kind of bullshit it is but he's got no idea at all and he's not completely with the program because 12 years is death Death man, I tell you. So much to get into more coming up later on but do you just very quickly Do both despair about the fact that this is... You know in America there was a certain strain of evangelical thinking which says this is not happening because God would not let this happen Where is that? What?! This is-this is a lie! Show me one report with one evangelical code for NUTJOBS

2:21:49 Because you know, holy God that's a good one forbid. You have any faith let's listen to the whole thing It's only tense here I'll play it from the beginning and so much pretty late So much to get into more coming up later on but do you don't just very quickly Do both despair about the fact that this is? In America there was a certain strain of evangelical thinking which says this is not happening because god would not let this happen And it's not just a minority report these people are in the White House in rational terms Do we need a new president? You need a new broadcasting system you dork. That's despicable! Let him play that again because I thought he said President of the planet

2:22:30 Oh, I know. Let me see it. Let's play it. Hold on. In rational terms do we need a new president for the planet? You're right! It's... For the planet. President Planet! We need a new president of- for the planet?! Yes so well these guys are all in on one world government yeah when they've and also ridiculing religion with a lie I mean, have you ever heard someone say God wouldn't have this? The opposite would be true. A.) If God wants this then that's what he is doing instead of God wouldn't let this happen It's okay because they have learned from our media and they go straight into abusing children to drive home their point Well it is your dad's obsession isn't it He has got panels on the roof, the electric car Is he mad

2:23:21 No, because it will help the world from global warming. Do you think so? Oh yeah! Yeah. Do you agree with all this? Yes I do. Okay okay well thing is your house is the only one in the street with solar panels on isn't it? So what difference does this make? It helps the world from good overwhelming so we need to get other people to do this. Yeah, how did you get other people to do it? We talked them and we let them know the consequences of it Do really what go around schools saying boy go green that's what we need to do okay Yes, yeah, all right all right and so used to as I understand it was a Hitler youth

2:24:02 Well, that's coming in a moment. Stay tuned! Oi, go green! That's what we need to do. OK? Yes? Yeah yeah Alright alright and so you two as I understand it have never been on a plane is that right? No Not even a propeller plane or in a glider? No Why'd you think that is? Because the fumes from the plane pollute the world And where did your friends go on holiday? Well my friends usually goes like Tunisia and Mexico on planes. That sounds great! Yeah, yeah... Where do you go? We usually go to France and Germany and places like that Right so your not flying Do you feel your missing out at all Not really but because its quite good as it's not polluting the world Poor child Sheesh Never gonna go anywhere You were talking about the Hitlerjugend

Frozen Script Rewrite, Global Warming in Schools

A producer reported that his nine-year-old daughter's school play version of Disney's Frozen was rewritten to include themes of global warming. The modified script features the character Olaf asking Elsa to use her powers to stop the polar ice caps from melting. The hosts argue this is an example of political agendas being inserted into children's entertainment and education.

frozen· disney· global warming· education· indoctrination

2:24:55 No, it's called the European Youth for Climate Action. What the elites in Brussels have seen is the great success of the Truants out there now for four weeks kids protesting something as long as they're bundled up warmly they got shawls and hats and gloves to yell against global warming... And now they have wait for this name They have created a new European Union initiative which creates opportunities for young people in the European Solidarity Corps. How about that? That's Hitler Youth! Well, that's why I'm bringing it up you just said it only it's not called Hitler Youth is called European Solidarity Corps and they will have a budget

2:25:47 of more than, I'm reading directly from the European Union press release... more than 340 million euros to cover a broad... that's almost half a billion euros, to cover a broad range of activities. With this overall budget the European Solidarity Co-op could dedicate over 40 million to creating volunteering opportunities in the areas of environment and climate action by 2020 Yeah, you can throw a rock through your window if you don't have solar panels. An important focus will be on getting the right skills and competencies for the labor market of the future especially in the growth sector of green jobs.

2:26:37 Yeah, tell that to Kleiner Perkins. New projects under the European Youth for Climate Action can cover a wide range of activities from training youth workers to reuse and recycle materials... motivating youngsters... Oh you're gonna be on that line standing there going through bottles! Motivating youngsters to use smartphone applications to save energy... Let me read the whole thing. How does that work? Hold on, motivating youngsters to use smartphone applications to save energy stimulating the spirit of green entrepreneurship to developing skills in sustainable agriculture, sustainable industry or the tertiary sector such as green tourism marketing and education additional funding transferred from other EU programs

2:27:33 could create additional opportunities. You're right, this is the Hitlerjugend! The European Solidarity Corps, the ESC write it down there'll be a logo yeah hello yes we're here to check and see if you're green do they do they not see that this is gonna have a sash in an armband arm band are in baby well now back to the United States Got a note from one of our producers my daughter nine is in the school play this semester She says to me dad wait until I show you the script. They changed the story it doesn't make any sense they're doing the Was that either the ice princess? What was the Disney movie with uh You know the Ice Princess now, I can't bring time for Hitler no No troll room help me out yeah, the big one would let it go Frozen frozen thank you

2:28:40 Frozen dad they change the story doesn't make any sense. How can Elsa's power stop global warning go over global warming? Arendelle isn't even a real place this is my dad This is just pandering so he sent me a copy his nine-year-old said this Well, that's what he wrote yeah He sent me a copy of page 17 and 18 And if you've seen the movie then you know the story, but I'll just read a little bit Elsa says but this power it's too harmful. I don't want to hurt you Anna Anna says You've been hurting me for years Elsa. You have shut yourself away from me in the world We are sister sisters are joined heart-to-heart and an Elsa embrace Elsa says look Anna You're not frozen we really aren't joined at the heart makes a hard sign Anna Don't be afraid of the power use it for good Elsa

2:29:32 For good? How can I use it for good?" Olaf. Ever heard of global warming? Snow and ice are melting at our polar ice caps! With your power, maybe you could stop the melting! Frankly some things are worth melting for but I want to stick around and see how this story ends. Elsa Wow! I can use this power for good to help people all over the world?! That's powerful! It's not in the original script They got a rewrite artist at the school? Yeah, but and they like the Lear Foundation is at the grade level now. At the grade level rewriting classic scripts It's just... it's just no I wonder what they're gonna do with Romeo and Juliet Meanwhile the news came out that 2018 was sadly not the hottest year on record

Tesla Cold Weather Performance, 2018 Heat Records

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that 2018 was the fourth hottest year on record, rather than the hottest. Meanwhile, Tesla owners in cold climates reported significant battery range loss and frozen door handles during recent winter storms. The segment explores the practical limitations of electric vehicles in extreme weather conditions.

tesla· electric vehicles· noaa· global warming· winter

2:30:28 Only the fourth hottest year. This is a great bunch. They could not fudge it this is noaa the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration May be part of them backing off yes, sir something we've identified now It's just the fourth hottest year on record it used to be the hottest you're ever hottest You're ever hottest your ever but I think it's kind of hard to get away with saying that when you have electric car owners noticing that their vehicles lose about 40% of their range in this bitter cold. In the blizzard? Yes, and Tesla owners who don't live in sunny warm California are very disappointed in their Model 3 vehicles where the door handles freeze you know the door handles on a Tesla they pop out Yeah They can't pop out because there frozen

2:31:23 So you can't open the car. Do what you do in the Midwest, take a cup of hot water and throw it on the handle and it'll open. You guys are hopeless! It doesn't make fun to bitch and moan about it... Two kind of techie stories. Google is now claiming... Are we leaving the climate gate? Do you want to close it? Well, if you're gonna close it, you gotta close it! Well okay, I'll close the climate gate then. That was worth it. That was worth it. I'll give it to ya'. When it comes to machine learning and AI

Google Gmail Spam, TensorFlow Machine Learning

Google announced it is using its TensorFlow machine learning framework to block an additional 100 million spam messages daily in Gmail. However, users have reported that legitimate security notices from services like PayPal are being incorrectly routed to spam folders. The hosts remain skeptical of AI's ability to accurately manage email without catching legitimate correspondence.

google· gmail· spam· tensorflow· machine learning

2:32:11 artificial intelligence. I've been very skeptical and one of my main mantras has been, why don't you fix my email? If you can have machine learning look at my email and make it work and give me things that absolutely want when i want them then I will have some belief in your artificial intelligence. And Google now announces that they... well here's the headline What are you doing? I'm just saying this bullcrap whatever you're gonna read it by Google spam does not bring us joy ridding Gmail of 100 million more spam messages with tensorflow now tensor flow is their TensorFlow that's their open source machine learning framework. Oh brother and

2:33:00 Right away that means more of the newsletter is gonna be put to promotions. Yes, it's true right away people were complaining that PayPal security notices We're going to spam sounds like that tensorflow is doing its job You know if someone logs into your PayPal account It sends you a security message now That's going to spam will be routed to spam no doubt But they're saying that they can do it Sure they can. Machine learning makes catching spam possible by helping us identify patterns in large data sets that humans who create the rules might not catch! It makes it easy for us to adapt quickly to ever-changing spam attempts. Okay, well... There's really nothing new in spam. I mean what is the latest? Everyone gets some spam somehow. I don't get much because I get no spam

2:33:52 But I looked in the spam boxes, the creativity of the spammers is not what it once was. You know they used to put in code certain kinds of characters that this spam filter would miss and so you get this crazy stuff. It's just there's not that much of it and the other thing about spam is nobody cares if some of its pushed to the spam box or sending out millions of messages. You only need a few to get through right? Except it hurts because we get trapped Yeah, I think almost anyone who has a newsletter gets trapped. Which is one of the reasons you want email so they can get their newsletter. Somebody subscribes to the newsletter...

Digital Media Fraud, Fake Video Views

A freelance video editor claims that major digital media companies, including Viacom and Comedy Central, routinely purchase fake views for their online content. This practice is allegedly used to deceive advertisers and secure larger ad buys by inflating engagement numbers. The segment suggests that recent layoffs in the digital media sector are a result of this unsustainable "receding water" in the industry.

youtube· facebook· comedy central· ad fraud· digital media

2:34:35 And it goes into spam. They subscribe to it and then a lot of guys say, well I've white listed it, I've tried to do everything but it keeps going in promotions or spam promotions usually. Yeah yeah. And its hit and miss why? Because there's a couple...I have about five people that are looking at this that constantly send me a note just tell me where it went. And it's like no reason who should have done that right but whatever. Then we got a note from producer who goes by the name of Hacker1000 And it's just reiterating something we've talked about, we've witnessed ourselves. We've known about and just wanted him to weigh in and say hey you know I've been working as a freelance video editor in New York City since 2014 It has now become painfully clear that all digital media companies...and he is talking about ones like oh I don't know Viacom

2:35:30 are buying fake views for their online videos when they don't meet certain numbers. Somebody at Comedy Central told me they were doing that a year ago, but ever since I've been asking people at various companies if they buy views so far everyone I've asked has said yes which leads me to believe that all of the media companies are doing this for their YouTube Facebook Instagram etc...I wouldn't be surprised if these companies are buying followers as well All of it being done to lie to their advertisers, exaggerating numbers to secure ad buys. And he says he believes... No surprise to us! The constant layoffs we're seeing is because the waters are receding and the tsunami is about to hit so yeah no surprise to us and of course it's true I wonder what the real traffic is of the internet

Venezuela Crisis, Military Defection Incentives

The political standoff in Venezuela continues as the United States pushes for the removal of President Nicolas Maduro in favor of interim leader Juan Guaido. Reports suggest that rank-and-file soldiers are suffering from low wages and food shortages, but high-ranking generals remain loyal. The segment analyzes the use of media messaging to encourage military defections and the role of humanitarian aid as a political test.

venezuela· nicolas maduro· juan guaido· cia· military

2:36:22 I don't know, but nobody wants to look at those Apple numbers. The podcast, Apple podcast numbers? Yeah. No, no they're not very encouraging. No. At all for anybody that all my goodness. Uh okay what else you got? Well i do have...I do want to keep up with current events has been my theme today yeah very good and I think They do have the latest Venezuela report. This is from CBS and noting the CBS history, they are all in on Venezuela overturning the government no problem. Yeah if I could only find it...ah! I got it. Latest Venezuela. The US wants Maduro out. Elizabeth Palmer in Caracas, the capital reports military leaders support Maduro. The soldiers? Maybe not. What we need is Maduro to leave. We must overthrow this government

2:37:18 Without the armed forces, President Nicolas Maduro is finished. So state TV broadcasts pictures almost daily showing apparently loyal troops with their commander-in-chief but in reality vast numbers of them on a salary of about six dollars a month have had enough Why are they ready to desert the president? Because they're tired we are suffering just like people are My family, for example. My salary isn't even enough to buy food." Is this something you can talk about among yourselves in the barracks or is it too dangerous? If we trust the people, we talk about what's going on in the country but the higher ranks don't know what were talking about that is why I'm doing an interview like this...to protect myself

2:38:10 To convince soldiers and their brass to defect to the opposition, Juan Guaido widely recognized as interim president has offered them an amnesty. But the rank-and-file need more than that. What will it take to get you to change sides? In the National Guard all we need is a high ranking general to rebel, to lead the way The next big test for the army will be in the coming days when large quantities of humanitarian aid, much of it sent by the United States reach Venezuela's border. President Maduro has ordered the military not to let it in and everybody is watching to see whether or not they obey Now this is CBS

2:38:57 Yeah, you know who would you think they'd be involved in this? They are through their CIA connections. Well This was the I think this was messaging I think it was done to indicate that one of your generals is gonna make out on this if you are the one Right. Yeah and we know that the military has been given guaranteed visas US visas to remain loyal So, yeah I think you're right. That's like hey hey hey anyone out there? You know we just need one guy! One guy! And we'll give you- We'll support ya. Whatever you need. Make you very comfortable so just somebody do it. So I figure within the next week one of the generals will break away. Could be yeah that that's definitely a good signal good catch

Mazie Hirono, Dwarf Tossing Hearing

Senator Mazie Hirono questioned a federal judge nominee about a past article regarding "dwarf tossing" laws in France. The nominee explained the legal concept of "dignitary harm" in the context of an individual's right to work. The hosts mock the line of questioning as an example of the "absurdity" found in modern congressional hearings.

mazie hirono· dwarf tossing· france· judicial hearing· politics

2:39:46 The other thing going on current events wise is I think it should be last. We got some good mixes were running out of room here with that, I'm gonna skip this OK on measles. I'll put it to the next show. But might as well put in that woman, that crazy Hawaiian, Hirono or whatever her name is... Yeah she's the congressman? She might be a senator because this was one of these hearings for somebody becoming a federal judge which only takes part in the census. I'll have to look it up and yeah, I should know. But anyway she somehow brings in dwarf tossing as a topic of conversation and of course makes a fool out of herself in the process. Here's an actual situation...I think you responded to something that happened in France where they made dwarf tossing illegal

2:40:44 I think that you said something like, it's up to them whether they... this is an individual decision. But why wouldn't...? Is she having a seizure? What is going on with her? She always... This is the woman she's always sighing. But first of all- It's like a teenager! It's little people throwing not dwarf tossing Little people throwing that's very un PC. It would seem as though you're writing about dignitary harm would apply to something like dwarf tossing Yes, Senator. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify that again it was in the I wrote about a particular case in France that used different conceptions of dignity there was a town in France that banned dwarf throwing there was an individual Mr Wackenheim who made his living doing that and he said this ban affected his dignitary interests but but in my article I don't take position one way or another on these issues

2:41:41 I'm just pointing out... I think your article has been interpreted as that you were okay with a dwarf tossing. This is one of the reasons that an organization that supports their issues is very much against your nomination. Wait, wait what? What organization is this that is an organization for the banning of dwarf tossing?! I guess! I have no idea! I want to be a member of this club! This is very important stuff Macy Hirono. May-zee, may-zee Hirono? Vote these people out! Look at what they're doing man...
